The Singapore Werewolf by Thomas Mackay King The Singapore Werewolf by Thomas Mackay King Feb. 06, 2012 $3.99 45999 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
I believe I was fortunate to have been born and raised in Edinburgh, Scotland, a wonderful city with deep artistic and cultural roots, all of which I fully absorbed. Of course the pleasant, positive aspects of Edinburgh are equally well balanced by the darker, sinister side, past and present, of which I both enjoyed, and endured, my quota. I have worked and lived across the world for over twenty eight years, and am now, tapping into the subterranean recesses inside my cranium to bring to the surface my experiences and observations, god, bad and ugly. I love writing; it stretches me to reflect, to delve deeper, and perhaps, hopefully to even darker places. TMK
